Expeditors By Lindale Inc.

Expeditors By Lindale Inc., operating through its Expeditors Fire Support division, is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Orange, California that supplies wildland fire management and incident support equipment and logistical services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor across Regions 1 through 6. The company competes on a mix of small-business-set-aside and full-and-open procurement, with the majority of recent work (100% of awards in the source) as prime contractor under both total small business set-asides and unrestricted delivery orders.

The company's concrete capability portfolio centers on critical incident response infrastructure: crew carrier buses, mobile camps, laundry and handwashing units, medical supplies, tents (Types 1, 2, 3, and 4), generators, mobile office trailers, communication units, refrigerated trailers, potable and gray water trucks, incident base units, and helicopter operations support personnel and equipment. Recent representative work includes a $1.466 billion firm fixed-price purchase order from the National Interagency Fire Center in May 2022 for tents, yurts, and canopies supporting the Calf Canyon incident in New Mexico; a $49.999 million single-award total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contract from Forest Service Region 3 for fuels treatment and wildfire hazard reduction services awarded April 2026 with a five-year term through April 2031; and multiple $500,000 ceiling indefinite delivery contracts awarded in February 2026 by the National Interagency Fire Center covering helicopter operations support, incident base units, mobile communications units, crew carrier buses, mobile laundry units, and potable/gray water trucks across Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 on a total small business set-aside basis.

Customer concentration is extreme and non-diversified. The top three funding agencies account for 74% of awards by count and 90% of combined potential value: Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) leads with 159 awards totaling $55.2 million combined potential value, followed by the National Interagency Fire Center with 109 awards valued at $20.4 million, and Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) with 106 awards at $20.1 million. Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) ranks fourth with 24 awards and $8.1 million. Combined, the vendor holds a portfolio of 616 prime awards across federal sources with $120.3 million combined potential value and $55.8 million obligated, reflecting activity ranging from 27 awards in 2025 to 43 in 2026 over the trailing five-year window.

Vehicle position reflects the vendor's deep integration with the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program. The top parent vehicles by task order count include indefinite delivery contracts AG8371B177055 (65 task orders, $1.1 million), 12024B18T7004 (35 task orders, $1.2 million), 12024B23T7009 (30 task orders, $626 thousand), and blanket purchase agreements AG024BB147014 (30 task orders, $3.1 million) and 1284M818T7072 (22 task orders, $236 thousand). The vendor holds a substantial portfolio of small-business-set-aside VIPR I-BPA (Blanket Purchase Agreement) vehicles issued by the National Interagency Fire Center, each with $250,000 to $500,000 ceilings, covering incident base units, mobile communications units, crew carrier buses, mobile laundry units, potable and gray water trucks with handwashing stations, helicopter operations support units, and refrigerated trailers across multiple regions with ultimate completion dates extending through 2029.

The vendor is not positioned as a subcontractor in the source data; all 616 awards are prime contracts or IDVs. The company operates exclusively as a prime supplier to the Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center, with no sub-award activity recorded. Category concentration is characteristic of the vendor's specialization: top NAICS codes include Support Activities for Forestry (325 awards), All Other Consumer Goods Rental (92 awards and 46 awards under variant classifications), and Other Support Activities for Air Transportation (32 awards). Top PSC codes are dominated by Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (499 awards), followed by Lease or Rental of Equipment categories across miscellaneous, textiles/tents/flags, and ground vehicles.

Recent recompete exposure is moderate. Activity trends show 2026 at 43 awards (year-to-date through August), following a decline from 42 in 2022 and 37 in 2023, with 2024 and 2025 at 36 and 27 awards respectively. The largest single award—the $49.999 million Region 3 fuels and vegetation management IDIQ awarded April 2026—extends through April 2031 and represents a multi-year revenue anchor. Multiple $500,000 and $250,000 VIPR contracts awarded in May-June 2024 and February-May 2026 carry completion dates through May-August 2029, representing future recompete risk in the 2028-2029 window.
